Research room.

When Professor Qiao looked up, he saw someone standing at the door and immediately understood.

"Xiaochuan? Why didn't you go to rest? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Xiao Qianchuan nodded and took a few steps forward.

"Professor Qiao, I hope you won't arrange for Officer Ling to enter the game with me again."

Professor Qiao put down the materials at hand and frowned exaggeratedly.

"Oh? Did Ling do something to make you feel uneasy?"

"No!"

Xiao Qianchuan hurriedly shook his head, "Officer Ling is fine."

Professor Qiao: "Then why..."

"It's my problem. Officer Ling is excellent. He is outstanding in both ability and character. Even his temper is top-notch. But it's too dangerous to be with someone like me."

Professor Qiao stood up, walked around the table, pulled Xiao Qianchuan to sit on the sofa, and spoke earnestly.

"You're great too, kid."

"No! I'm not okay. I'm very not okay."

Xiao Qianchuan lowered his head. "I thought it would be much easier to complete the mission if Officer Ling entered the game with me, after all, he is so powerful. But I didn't expect that he would become a follower, unable to use system props and without natural skills. He was willing to risk his life to protect me in such a dangerous environment, but I selfishly just wanted to use him at the beginning. My luck is so bad that every time I enter the game, it's the worst start. Please don't send anyone to enter the game with me anymore. I can complete the mission by myself."

"You...oh!"

Professor Qiao sighed.

"Okay! I might as well tell you that I didn't agree to activate the "Follower" mission plan this time. But Ling came to me specifically to apply for this mission and he must enter the game with you."

Hearing this, Xiao Qianchuan's face was full of confusion, "Why? He clearly knew..."

"He knows how dangerous the mission is."

Professor Qiao's tone was heavy.

"Every member of Group G knows about it, including those who have already sacrificed their lives. But no one has ever backed down, especially Ling. He told me that you are important. He is worried about you being alone in the game."

"But I...I..."

Xiao Qianchuan's voice got smaller and smaller as he spoke, "Just now, I almost strangled him to death."

Professor Qiao shook his head. "Then let me ask you. Did you really want to hurt him just now?"

"No! I haven't. Ever."

Xiao Qianchuan answered quickly.

Professor Qiao smiled and patted the other person's shoulder gently.

"That's it. Don't take Qin Tian's words to heart. We all know that what happened just now was just an accident. After just coming out of the game, everyone will be a little uncomfortable. It's normal to have various behaviors under the stimulation of the brain."

"normal?"

Xiao Qianchuan was stunned, as if this word had never been used on him before.

Whether with good intentions, bad intentions or unintentional, most people say "he is abnormal."

"He's not normal. Please don't bother with this child. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"He's not normal, he's a psychopath! Don't play with him, it's contagious."

"He's abnormal, how pitiful!"

Countless voices exploded in Xiao Qianchuan's mind. He subconsciously raised his hand to grab his hair and pull out the annoying noises.

But a hand was placed on his head first, warm and generous, with a comfortable strength.

Professor Qiao gently stroked the top of Xiao Qianchuan's head.

"Are you tired, kid? Relax and go back to have a good sleep. I will consider your suggestion."

A warm current surged through Xiao Qianchuan's heart, and his brain instantly became quiet.

It had been a long time since he left the orphanage. No one had ever touched his head like this.

He suddenly missed the dean's mother a little.

After saying goodbye to Professor Qiao, Xiao Qianchuan walked back with his head down.

He bumped into someone unexpectedly, and because he couldn't keep his balance, he ended up falling headfirst into the other person's arms.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Be careful."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Qianchuan became even more afraid to look up.

"Can't sleep? Are you still scared?"

Xiao Qianchuan shook his head and retorted, "No! It's... I'm too excited, so I can't sleep. The reward points this time are a lot, I can exchange them for a lot of money!"

Ling Rizhao didn't expose her, but just smiled.

"Money-grubber! What do you want so much money for?"

"Flowers!"

Xiao Qianchuan answered without hesitation.

After saying this, he felt that his words were a bit perfunctory, so he explained.

"I need a lot more money. What the system gives me is not enough. At least 19.26 million."

Ling Rizhao was a little surprised, "So precise?"

Xiao Qianchuan nodded, his eyes full of longing.

"This is without inflation. In two years, it might cost even more. After all, we have to spend a whole polar day in the Arctic. We also have to hire a boat to go out to sea and take a photo of the narwhal to burn for Brother He. That's his wish!"

Ling Rizhao frowned and thought to no avail, then asked, "Who is Brother Xiao He?"

"A friend of mine. The trip to the North Pole was his suggestion. He said there are 189 days of daylight a year there."

It was his utopia, a night that would not pull him down, and a paradise that would not make him afraid of insomnia.

Thinking of Brother He's description, Xiao Qianchuan's lips curled up unconsciously.

Ling Rizhao looked at the gentle expression on Xiao Qianchuan's face when he mentioned another man, which made him feel sad and he didn't want to continue the topic.

"Here you go. Drink it and go to bed early."

Xiao Qianchuan had already noticed the cup of milk in the other person's hand, and he thought that Officer Ling wanted to drink it himself.

When it was suddenly handed to him, Xiao Qianchuan was a little resistant. He didn't like pure milk very much and always felt it had a fishy smell.

"No, no. You should drink it yourself!"

"This was meant for you. It was a little hot just now, but it's just right now. Drinking it will help you sleep."

This was something that was impossible to refuse.

Xiao Qianchuan stretched out his hand mechanically, then he remembered that Officer Ling was not sleeping so late at night, holding milk and guarding his door. Was it because he was worried that he couldn't sleep well?

Shocked by his own shameless thoughts, Xiao Qianchuan's hand shook and the milk almost spilled.

"Slower."

Officer Ling helped hold the cup, along with his hand.

Xiao Qianchuan seemed to be scalded by the temperature of the man's palm. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but was unable to move.

He had no choice but to drink the milk in one gulp from the other person's hand.

He pushed the cup into the other person's hand, said good night, and turned around and fled.

Ling Rizhao turned the cup in his hand, hesitated for a moment, took out his cell phone and called Qin Tian.

"Help me check someone. There is a man named Xiao He in Xiao Qianchuan's social network."

"I want to know everything about him."
